Reflections 3/13/2020: I find myself relating to this misplaced rabbit. It must have been a typo that landed me with a cancer diagnosis! I was the healthiest, most energetic sexagenarian (60’s….) I know! Where were You God when this typo happened? Shouldn’t I have had a say in it? Stages of grieving crashing together… denial and bargaining! Seems a little late in the game to be wrangling with these. It is what it is, no denial will change that. And bargaining can work at a garage sale, but not at a doctor’s office! So where does that leave me, Lord? I guess if I am going to call You “Lord,” I better get a grip on what that means. A sovereign Being who absolutely deserves my allegiance, surrender and trust! Typos don’t happen in Your Kingdom. There are larger reasons for cancer diagnoses, untimely deaths and derailed dreams. You redeem these harsh realities for good in Your larger spectrum of life. I DO believe that… even as I hug the porcelain throne, surrendering another meal! And I CHOOSE to continue to call You “Lord,” fully embracing Your right to be just that! My Sovereign King! And my Father Who loves me!
